Mario Coasters Review from The Rogue Streak -Review

Today I have another very unique item that I am really excited to share with you all. I have a great gift that would be pretty much perfect for anyone. These are custom coasters from an etsy shop by the name of The Rogue Streak. This is a pretty awesome etsy shop I must say. The owner of the Rogue Streak is Dana and she is based out of Kentucky. She sent me one of her top selling coaster sets which is Mario themed. I am pretty much obsessed with these. I have been looking for coasters for my home for quite some time and these are just perfect. I am actually truly amazed with the quality of these coasters and that's for sure! Not only do these coasters look really nice, they are actually really durable too! I was also really impressed with the how she packed these up for me. Honestly when this package arrived on my front door I had no idea what it was lol. The box was superrrrr heavy and it also took me a few minutes to open everything.

She packaged up everything amazing! The coasters were wrapped up so nicely, there was no possible way that these were going to get destroyed in transit to me. Not only was everything very protected it was also very neat and put together beautifully. She included a hand written card which was very nice too! She also threw some candy in there too which is always a nice little bonus lol.

If Mario isnt your thang then dont worry she has plenty of other coasters to choose from on her website that would probably be more appealing for you. Personally I don't see how you couldn't love Mario! I am  beyond obsessed Mario was a HUGE part of my childhood so when I seen these listed on her site I knew that I had to make them mine!

Lets get into the details on these coasters. She sells these coasters in sets of 4 and 6. The one that i received to review is in a set of 5. The listing price is only $16.00 and when you break that down it comes out to be only $3.20 each which is insanely reasonable! These are home made and you cant even find great prices like this in a store. I think my favorite little "feature" about these coasters are the felt feet placed on the back of each coaster. This way you dont have t worry about these scratching the surface that you plan oon using these with.

Included in my box was also a hand made ornament! These you can add on to any order that you have with this shop. These are adorable little ornaments that will look amazing on your Christmas tree.  She also has a huge variety of these on her Etsy shop too. All the proceeds to these ornaments are going to a family in need this holiday so make sure you check those out too! I am really in love with my ornament I think it adds the perfect finishing touch to my tree and I love the style of this ornament as well. You truly can't find ornaments like these in the store either.

I know when you see things listed online you become hesitant to purchase them because you cant really hold and feel what these products are like in real life.  But I am here to assure you that these products are amazing. I am really impressed with these coasters and they are beautiful as well. I know for a fact that I will have these for a long time. If you are looking for Christmas gifts for friends or family these might be the perfect thing to get for them!

I would now like to thank the Rogue Streak for being featured on my blog. I really hope all of you take the time to check out her Etsy shop even if you don't plan on buying anything!

My Bakers Box! Subscription Box Review!

 

Today I have another subscription box for you all to review. This one is called my bakers box. I never heard about this box before and was super honored  to be chosen to review one for all of you today!

On top of the box at first glance, there are a few pieces of paper information. The first is just a card with the web address of this subscription box and then the other is card that has all of the products listed on it. I choose to leave this one till after. I like to be surprised and see what I get.

Oooh look at all these goodies! I do have to say  I really wasn't expecting to see this many products in this box and was pretty surprised to see this many!

 

The first thing that is in this box is a little jar of strawberry preservatives. I do have to say I am in love with the packing for this product lol. It's so cute and tiny. This is a 1 oz jar so this is perfect for a small baking project. Especially now when Valentines Day is coming up! This is pretty perfect. This is also a 1 oz jar.

Rainbow sprinkles is up next!!! I think this was the product I got most excited about when I opened up this box! I love how small this container of sprinkles is too! This is perfect for a few small baking projects!

Sprinkles are the perfect finishing touch to any baking project. As you can see from this picture that there are many different colors of sprinkles inside this container which makes these go with pretty much any occasion you are baking for. Lets be honest how many people hate sprinkles? Not many! Lol sprinkles are the best :)

The next product that was in my box was this red icing. This is another product that is going to be perfect for Valentine's Day. I love how the tip for this icing is really small which makes this perfect for making some small details on any baking project you are working out. This was also be perfect for writing small words on anything your baking :)

 

Also in this box, came a lot of circular cardboard cut outs. Each circle has a whole punched out through the top which is perfect. This are the perfect gift tag to attach to any little good bag of baking good :) I love how they are hole punched too which is really convenient.

 

Look at this adorable little wisk! I love this, it's so cute and adorable. I also love how this is themed for Valentines Day! I actually love the size of this little wisk. I think its perfect for small baking projects. I could also see this being perfect for small children, when there trying to help bake In the kitchen.

The next thing that was included in this box was two cookie cutters. These cookie cutters are both made out metal so they are very durable. I've had a few cookie cutters in the past and I've realized that only the metal ones are usually the only ones to survive after washing them a few times and using them for baking.

 

I love how they included two different sizes of the cookie cutters that are the same shape. I am so excited to use these for baking for Valentines Day :) the little one is really cute too!!

The next thing in this box are some paper sticks which I'm sure could be used 1,000 ways. The first way that comes to my mind is cake pops of course. I feel like the way that I will be using these will be for some cookie pops I will be making. Pretty much all that is, is a cookie on a stick which is really adorable.

In this box there was also some small bags which is perfect! I love baking for people as a small gift, and the fact that they included little bags is just awesome! I will definitely be using these to make some of friends Valentines goodies!

I almost missed this at the bottoms of my box, but the last item that is in this box is a little bundle of thread which can be using to hang those little cards on the bags.

Also there is a recipe for some cookies you could make! This recipe also uses the strawberry preservatives that was included in this box, which is really awesome.

 

I would have to say I'm beyond impressed with this box. I love how everything included in this box was all for one baking project. I cant wait to use all of these products for baking. They really went over and beyond and made sure to include everything you could possibly need to bake with.

 

Make sure you check them out here and sign up to get your very own Bakers Box! You wont be disappointed and I promise you that!

I also would like to Thank everyone at My Bakers Box for sending me my very own and I hope to work with you guys in the future!

DreamLoveAndBows On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received an adorable bow from a shop on Etsy by the name of DreamLoveAndBows

The bow that was sent to me to review is inspired by the one and only Ariel from The Little Mermaid, which is one of my all time favorites! I'm pretty obsessed with this bow to be quite honest with you lol. I love the colors she used to create this bow. They do an amazing job at making this bow look just like Ariel. The red for her hair, purple for her clam bra, and the green for her tail. Another reason I really like this bow is because the ribbon she used to create this bow, is almost like a satin material. As you can see in this picture the bow has a little bit of shine to it, which is just gorgeous! I love how in the center of the bow she included some glittery fabric, it really adds the perfect amount of bling to the bow. My favorite part however has got to be the fork in the center or should I say the Dinglehopper, and if you have no idea what the heck I am talking about well shame on you, go get educated and watch The Little Mermaid lol. Anyways, this bow is perfect. The fork she placed on this bow is really the perfect touch to this bow. She even went the extra mile and plced some gorgeous rhinestones to the end of the "Dinglerhopper".

This hair bow is attached to your basic hair clip. These are my favorite types of clips, they are super easy to use. These clips are even great for little girls, sense there so easy to put in and out of your hair. The hair clip is attached perfectly to the back of this bow, as you can see in this photo there are no loose strands of glue. She did a really neat and tidy job with this bow, and it really shows. This whole bow was assembled perfectly and really looks like something you would get out of the store, which is awesome!

Overal I'm super impressed with the quality of this bow, it feels really sturdy and durable like this going to last me quite a long time. I really love this bow and can't wait to wear it when I hit up Walt Disney World.

This bow would be a great gift for anyone who's a huge fan of Ariel *cough cough* like my self lol. She also makes a huge assortment of other bows that are inspired by other characters as well.

SkinGlowsByCeleste On Etsy Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received an item from a shop on Etsy by the name of SkinGlowsByCeleste

The product that was sent to me to review is called a 3 in 1 face cleanser and exfoliator. I was pretty excited when I learned about this coming to review, just for the simple fact that I am a hugeeee fan of exfoliators and I have tried so many of them in the past. I was super excited to be trying a new one, one in fact that is homemade which makes this product even cooler in my opinion. The scent I received is called Oatmeal, Honey and Geranium. From the first whiff I wasn't to satisfied to be honest lol. I like things that are sweet smelling, or that smells like food lol. This doesn't smell awful, it just really isn't something I would go far but that's okay! It's good to try new products and scents to see what you like! The direction for this product is pretty simple, your suppose to use a quarter size amount and massage into your dampened face. For me I found that a quarter size was actually too much for me, so I only used about the size of a nickle. I used this for the first time as soon as I go out of the shower and washed my face with it. I instantly felt refreshed, clean and soft too!

Retails:($20.00)

Usually when I get out of the shower I wash my face with some type of product and immediately I have to put one some moisturizer on my face, sense I have really dry skin, especially now that the weather is getting a little cooler where I live. With using this product I didn't even have to grab my moisturizer, which was amazing! This is probably the only product I have ever used that has not dried my skin out, which was great. This saved me a step in my skin routine which is the best feeling ever lol, I love being able to be a bit lazy! This makes it so much easier, and saves me a little time when is needed. I have had this product for a while and have used it quite a lot sense the first time I have tried it out, and every time I use it I fall in love with this product. I love the texture of this product, as you can see from the picture below it looks like it is pretty gritty, and it is. It's not too gritty thought, it's not to rough on your skin which is good. This is pretty much the perfect consistency.

I think the best part of this product is that it comes with a little spoon! This is just a simple thing but it really does make so much of a difference. I hate using products and getting all messy, and now I wont have to which is going to be really nice, and I'm sure I will probably end up using is more often just  because of the spoon actually. It is really cute as well lol, it's the perfect size for a product like this this because you don't need to use a lot in the first place anyways.

These are the benefits of this product:

*Organic Oatmeal, Raw Local Honey & Geranium

*Gentle Exfoliator

*Improves Skin Tone

*Anti Aging

*No Toxic Ingredients or Preservatives

*Skin Brightener

*Retains Moisture

*Removes Makeup/Cleans Pores

*Fades Dark Spots

*Improves Circulation

*Calms Redness & Irritated Skin

I would highly recommend this shop. This shop isn't like most homemade beauty products. She really puts a lot of time and effort into creating different products for her customers and it really shows. Even her packaging is really nice and neat, the labels on her containers are waterproof as well. This shop just goes above and beyond to make sure her customers are happy, and I can proudly say that I am one happy customer!

This would make a great gift for practically anyone, you could purchase a few of these products and make a super nice gift basket which would be a great gift. I know I have only tried this one product from this shop, but I'm almost certain I would feel the same about the other products in her shop.

LuDesignsCreations On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

 

I received two different jewelry items from a shop on Etsy by the name of LuDesignsCreations

The first item that this shop owner sent me to review is a necklace. A very long necklace at that as well lol. This necklace is gorgeous, it has a turtle pendant on it, and I'm obsessed! Turtles are my favorite so this necklace was an instant hit with me! Lol.

 

 

The pendant on this necklace is gorgeous! as you can tell from this picture you can see there is a lot of details in this little guy. There are some pretty cool cutouts all through out the turtle which makes it pretty gorgeous. I love how much detail is in this for sure. As far as the pendant goes, this is a pretty solid and sturdy piece. I'm not even going to lie, it is a bit heavy, but its not something that is going to be too annoying to wear. I think this it like the perfect weight not too heavy and not too light either which is great.

 

As far as the chain goes, you can tell from this picture that this is a pretty thick chain. This is something new for my considering all my necklaces that I do own have pretty thin chains, so I was excited to see something a little different for me to try out. One plus about having a chain as thick as this one is that you really don't have to worry about it getting all tangled up, which is awesome. I'm constantly fixing all the necklace chains, because I'm notorious for getting them all tangled up together, which is a bit annoying lol.

 

The next item I have to review for all of you, is a ring. This ring is advertised as being a midi/ knuckle ring, but when I first opened this I didn't know that lol. It actually fits me pretty perfectly as just a regular ring. I'm not really a fan of this style of ring, but when I wear it like a normal ring I really like it. I'm not a huge fan of rings all together, just because they always get in my way and I always end up taking them off because they get uncomfortable. That wasn't the case with this ring however. I usually only wear my class ring which I haven't taken off probably sense I have graduated highschool lol. I decided to switch it up a little and wear this ring for a full day and see how I would like it!

Retails:($19.00)

 

I really liked wearing this ring. The design is pretty simple, which makes this jewelry piece easy to wear with pretty much anything. I wore this throughout my entire day, and I will say that this is an incredibly comfortable jewelry piece I was actually quite surprised to be honest. I didn't even hesitate to take this off through out my day, and it stayed in place the entire time and didn't bother me at all, which is really surprising for me. This is pretty much a prefect ring, not too heavy and not too light. This ring feels like something I'm going to have for quite some time, and I cant wait to wear it some more. I'm so glad I have this now to add to my jewelry collection :)

 

 

Overall I'm highly impressed with these jewelry items. They are high quality pieces and really affordable as well.

 

These would be great gifts for any jewelry lover! This shop has a wide selection too which will make it easy to find the perfect gift :)

Oooh Ahh! The photo above is the products you will have the chance of winning for yourself :)

These little guys are what I have had the chance to review for you guys. I've used these products for the last few days, and found both of them to be extremely similar. It says on the package you can use these for lips and on your cheeks. I'm not really a fan of cheek stains in general, but for reviewing purposes I thought I must try it out lol. To be honest I was impressed. This went on really nicely and had pretty good color payoff. I like the formula of these products, its a thicker, kind of sticky, but isn't messy. I think these will be great to just throw in your purse, and would be the perfect  thing to use to give your face a little color! I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of these, especially sense winter is officially here. I find these products to be really moisturizing, especially on my lips.

Here are the swatches of both the Hibiscus and Beet lip and cheek stain. As you can see they both have really good pigment. That was with just one little bit, these are pretty buildable as well, you can make these as dark, or as light as you like which is pretty cool. I'm not sure if I'm wrong or not lol, but both of these looks like they are pretty much the same color. Personally I love the colors of these, they aren't too dramatic and could be warn pretty much year round. I think these colors are perfect for fall and winter though :)

Overall I'm impressed with these products and cant wait to use them some more.

This shop is packed with all kinds of other beauty products, I think they would be great gifts you could purchase a few different products and make up a really nice gift basket, which would be really thoughtful!
